Actually, it is the author who views Jesus as an anarchist, stating: "The real Jesus was an anarchist." I thought that was an interesting perspective I hadn't heard before. Though I don't believe in Jesus [as divine, a messiah, etc.] or in God, I'm still interested in how people interpret and apply the Bible, and how they view Jesus and God.
The other thing that caught my interest was that as I read the article I couldn't help but apply it to TF, especially this passage [with my changes]:
"Whatever prophetic voices survive in TFI must take a message to the [membership]. "We are guilty of our leaders' crimes. Just because we are silent and passive does not mean that we are innocent. If we have any status in the power hierarchy, we are partially responsible for its misdeeds." I realize that most of [TFI] consists of wonderful and compassionate people, but that does not matter if we turn over our power to those less charitable."
